Introduction
Training
To operate the machine safely you must know the
machine and have the skill to use it. You must abide
by all relevant laws, health and safety regulations
that apply to the country you are operating in. The
operator's manual instructs you on the machine, its
controls and its safe operation; it is not a training
manual. If you are a new operator, get yourself
trained in the skills of using a machine before trying
to work with it. If you don't, you will not do your job
well, and you will be a danger to yourself and others.
In some markets and for work on certain jobsites you
may be required to have been trained and assessed
in accordance with an operator competence scheme.
Make sure that you and your machine comply with
relevant local laws and jobsite requirements - it is
your responsibility.
Care and Alertness
All the time you are working with or on the machine,
take care and stay alert. Always be careful. Always
be alert for hazards.
Clothing
You can be injured if you do not wear the correct
clothing. Loose clothing can get caught in the
machinery. Keep cuffs fastened. Do not wear a
necktie or scarf. Keep long hair restrained. Remove
rings, watches and personal jewellery.
Alcohol and Drugs
It is extremely dangerous to operate machinery when
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Do not
consume alcoholic drinks or take drugs before or
while operating the machine or attachments. Be
aware of medicines which can cause drowsiness.
Feeling Unwell
Do not attempt to operate the machine if you are
feeling unwell. By doing so you could be a danger to
yourself and those you work with.
Mobile Phones
Switch off your mobile phone before entering an
area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks
in such an area could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
Switch off and do not use your mobile phone when
refuelling the machine.
Lifting Equipment
You can be injured if you use incorrect or faulty lifting
equipment. You must identify the weight of the item to
be lifted then choose lifting equipment that is strong
enough and suitable for the job. Make sure that lifting
equipment is in good condition and complies with all
local regulations.
Raised Equipment
Never walk or work under raised equipment unless
it is supported by a mechanical device. Equipment
which is supported only by a hydraulic device can
drop and injure you if the hydraulic system fails
or if the control is operated (even with the engine
stopped).
Make sure that no-one goes near the machine while
you install or remove the mechanical device.
Raised Machine
Never position yourself or any part of your body
under a raised machine which is not correctly
supported. If the machine moves unexpectedly you
could become trapped and suffer serious injury or be
killed.
Lightning
Lightning can kill you. Do not use the machine if there
is lightning in your area.
Machine Modifications
This machine is manufactured in compliance with
prevailing legislative requirements. It must not be
altered in any way which could affect or invalidate its
compliance. For advice consult your JCB dealer.
